Drones for Education
How can Event 38 drones be used for education?
Drones are becoming increasingly popular in higher education both as direct instruction about aviation and unmanned aircraft, but also as implements to perform aerial surveys and research. Event 38 drones are perfect for introducing students to fixed-wing aircraft and preparing them for more advanced drones. Our fixed-wing drones are built with VTOL functionality, allowing students to gain experience flying a fixed-wing drone without requiring a large open area for takeoff and landing.
Open Software Architecture
What does open source software architecture mean?
Open source means our software is available to read and make changes to. Our Avionics hardware supports both ArduPilot and PX4 but comes pre-flashed in a full ready to fly configuration with custom ArduPilot firmware, available on our GitHub account. By purchasing a ready to fly drone you can skip straight to software development on a tested platform, saving the time and hassle of building, testing, and tuning an airframe.
Along with our flight control software; our ground control software is open source as well. Custom Event 38 branches of Mission Planner and QgroundControl are available on our GitHub page for adding enhanced monitoring applications or other functionality.
Open Payload Architecture
What does open payload architecture mean?
While we provide numerous payloads and are happy to work with our users on payload integration, we understand the need to be able to perform a sensor integration on your own. We’re able to provide you with an empty payload bay model and electrical connector diagram for performing your own payload integrations.
Our custom hotswap payload bay connector features…
- Serial connections
- CAN connection
- Ethernet connection (2.4/5g radio add on required)
- Timing pins to RTK GNSS Module
- High voltage pins
- Regulated voltage pins
- Software configurable PWM and relay signals
